The municipalities of Coimbra, Mealhada and Cantanhede are joining forces to create a Large Business Welcome Area. The objective is to transform the Coimbra–Mealhada–Cantanhede axis into a new industrial, logistics and railway corridor.

The project aims to position this region of Central Portugal as a development hub with national dimensions. The initiative seeks to attract businesses and investments to the area.

The collaboration between the three municipalities represents a joint strategy to boost the local and regional economy. This union of efforts comes to compete with other metropolitan areas of the country.
